- Summary:
- Researchers draw on the American Instructional Resources Survey (AIRS) and interviews with 45 English language arts (ELA) and math teachers to examine the prevalence of different types of benchmark assessments and explore educators' perceptions about the extent to which benchmark assessments align with other components of their schools' instructional systems. As school systems emerge from the chaos wrought by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and opportunities for gathering student assessment data resume, education leaders and policymakers have an opportunity to take stock of the state of their assessment systems and reflect on whether assessments — and benchmark assessments specifically — are appropriately aligned with other aspects of schools' instructional systems, such as state standards, summative assessments, and curriculum materials.
